ADVERTISING DEVICE FOR DRINKING VESSELS.

Application filed July 17, 1924. Serial No. 726,534.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK C. Kenn, a citizen of the United States,residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAdvertising Devices for Drinking Vessels, of which the following; is aspecification.

My invention relates to drinking vessels and the object thereof is toprovide tumblers and glasses with removable advertising matter. This isaccomplished by fitting. the bot tom of the drinking vessel with aretaining bead or flange for holding the advertising matter which ispreferably made in the form of a round disk. When the drinking vessel isused, the advertisement can then be readily seen through the bottom ofthe vessel.

In the accompanying drawing. one embodiment of the invention isillustrated, and

Figure 1 is a vertical section of a vessel, and

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof.

In the drawing. the reference numeral 10 represents an ordinary glasswith the usual concave bottom 11. Below the bottom is furnished anannular head 12 which holds the advertising disk 13 securely inposition. The disk is preferably made of some waterproof material andcarries on its upper side the advertisement. as indicated at 14 in Iigure 2. The disk is slightly larger in diameter than the diameter ofthe groove formed above the bead 12 so that the disk will have to beforced into position. For the purpose ofremoving the disk whenadvertisement is to be changed. a small notch 15 is provided in the edgeof the disk for the insertion of a pointed instrument when the disk canbe forced out of engagement with the bead and then easily removed.

The disk is made of some suitable composition which is water-proof andfor this reason it is not necessary to remove the disk when the glass isbeing washed.

1Having thus described the invention, I c a1m:

drinking 1. All advertising device for-drinking vessels of transparentmaterial comprising a disk carrying a suitable imprint, on one side andadapted to fit under the bottom of the vessel, and a bead provided belowthe bottom of the vessel adaptedto engage with the edge of the disk toretain the same in position.

An advertising device for drinking vessels of transparent materialcomprising a disk carrying a suitable imprint on one side and adapted tofit under the bottom of the vessel. and a. bead provided below thebottom of the vessel adapted to engage with the edge of the disk toretain the same in position. the bottom of the vessel being concave andthe diameter of the disk slightly larger than the diameter of the seatformed above the bead in the vessel.

8. An advertising device for drinking vessels of transparent materialcomprising a disk carrying a suitable imprint on one side and adapted tofit under the bottom of the vessel, and a bead provided below the bottomof the vessel adapted to engage with the edge of the disk to retain thesame in position. the bottom of the vessel being concave and thediameter of the disk slightly larger than the diameter of the seatformed above the-bead in the vessel, the disk being provided with anaperture. to facilitate the removal thereof from the vessel.

4 An advertising device for drinking vessels of transparent materialcomprising a disk carrying a suitable imprint on one side and adapted tofit under the bottom of the vessel, and a bead provided below the bottomof the vessel adapted to engage with the edge of the disk to retain thesame in position, the bottom of the vessel being concave and thediameter of the disk slightly larger than the diameter of the seatformed above the bead in the vessel the disk being pro- Vided with anaperture to facilitate the removal thereof from the vessel, said diskbeing made from water-proof material.

In testimony whereof I atfix my signature.
